I was the Trustee of a trust and two family members died. Both expressed their wishes for cremation. I ended up paying over $8000 for each one.
The funeral home charged me $1000 each for a casket rental for the funerals, I have always wondered how much money that casket generated in fees.
I found the thing a total ripoff.
I am seriously considering donating my body to the Body Farm in either Kentucky or Texas.
Yes, the funeral homes are greedy.
I’ve written the checks for two cremations over the last 15 months (youngest sister and my twin brother).
$3600 is no ceremony, visitation, casket, or anything. Just an obit in the newspaper. They call you to pick up the ashes when completed.
